Detailed Summary
A prospective controlled randomized interventional study comparing the effects of the preoperative exposure to a virtual reality software versus not exposure in 126 patients with colorectal cancer. Patients will be divided in two randomized groups, each of them of 63 patients. The hypothesis of the study is that gradual exposure to the hospital environment using a virtual reality software is effective to reduce preoperative anxiety. The main variable is the level of anxiety in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. It will be measured using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (STAI-S) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
